Mature Athlete: Cycle 8, Week 6, Day 2

Cycle eight is all about circuit training. Five Super Circuits will be rotated over a Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday format. The goal of each Super Circuit is all-encompassing: improved strength, endurance, and general fitness. A variety of exercises and exercise prescriptions are used for those goals.

Total body bodyweight exercise

Upper body push exercise

Interval exercise

Lower body multi-joint exercise

Abdominal exercise
